DA Agreed here. I would understand why there would be backlash if the familiars were an explicit reference or glorification of cockfighting, like if their flavor text involved them competing in any way, but they don't? And falconry hoods have nothing to do with cockfighting either. So there was no objective reason to perceive any more animal-harm than usual.
When the entire dragons VS beastclans lore is essentially just watered down colonial genocide, but we're all able to suspend our disbelief on that one, this just seems like the most pedantic shit to get up in arms about.
What shit? I'm saying they're both stupid things to get upset about. Its just as dumb to change some knife feet on roosters as it would be to try to sanitize the beastclans lore.
